Good! Nice! Amazing!

The controller looks great and works without any hiccups. It feels pretty cheap and plasticky, mostly the keys, they've got a little wiggle to them, but for the price, I think it is pretty on the money. It's already helped me get a lot of ideas into Ableton and I'm sure it'll get better as I use it more.

Really great - can't believe how well put together and powerful this unit is!

Gregory Sesto

Excellent product for all my recording needs

Tina Hsueh

Great entry-level MIDI workstation for production with Ableton! Thought about getting the mini and happy with the 49 keys one because it still fits on my desk. Purchased directly from the Novation website on Cyber Monday and received it in 2 days. 🙌

Elliot Hems-Mann

An awesome midi controller that works plug and play with DAW. I use Logic Pro X and makes writing music so much easier, I hardly ever have to touch the MacBook Keyboard anymore!!

Braden Blakley

Love this little keyboard. Exactly what I was looking for - simple, but robust features for songwriting and synthesizing.

TS

My first MIDI but sticking with it for a reason! Takes a bit of time to figure out how to get most out of it but would highly recommend.

Lorena Campos

I love the price, the quality and how I can record beats and group them , I like its facilities and I think its perfect to start your own productions

Harsh Khatri

How am I supposed to rate it I haven't recieved it yet because the seller didn't send commercial invoice!

Tomás Kantor

It has been made with a great quality materials and the programs that came with it are very useful to start producing like me, i'm very satisfied

Demian Maldonado

I have only one day with it and it is really easy to install, it works perfect, I'm still no Professional but i'm on my way

Excelent product. I had problems with the INCONTROL buttons in Ableton Live, but I solved the issue upgrading the firmware to the latest version.The keys are lighter than I expected, which makes me think in how hard I should press the keys everytime I play, compared to another Keyboard I have. But I hope this is not something bad.

Amazing product at a great price! Highly recommended!

The Novation Launchkey 49 is alright for its price. The pads are a bit shaggy and needs a bit of practice before one can use them properly..

Robin

Very well designed, could be more compatible with other softwares.

Mr ARTEM SYZKOV

I had problems installing ProTools on my Windows 10. Now I successfully use Ableton together with Launchkey 49 and Scarlett solo. I would strongly recommend Novation and Focusrite to any modern musician.

Mr FRANCISCO GUERRERO

An excellent tool for production beginners!

Mr Dimitrios Komvos

Exactly what I needed for my music production. As far as I've seen, this is the best controller for the price.

Mr Nitzan Bueno

Keys are of excellent quality, and to my pleasant surprise I learned that the Launchkey can also work with FL studio. It looks very good, fits on my desk and is a charm to play.

This latest generation of Launchkey is our most focused MIDI keyboard controller for Ableton Live. It's the quickest and easiest way to produce and perform electronic music – because we designed it specifically for the purpose. You just plug in via USB and the keys, faders, knobs and pads immediately give you hands-on control of your grid, instruments, effects and mixer. Of course, if you don't use Ableton, it will map to other major music software too using InControl.Designed for Ableton Live: All controls work immediately and can be freely reassigned.

See your session in full colour: RGB pads match the colour of your clips.
